OF Many Literary Men.
Literary men. l dare say. have their
merits. should be very sorry to deny
all merit to any class of my fellow
creatures; but literary men have also
their faults. whereof (since life is short,
however tedic us art may beg will only
mention ne-viz; their intolerable and
aggressive self-conce.t. Here is some
wret he'd little knock kneed. weak
chested fellow. whose back is bowed
and whose eyes are practically blind,
who can do nothing in this world but
write. and can't do that il a child cries
in the next street or an organ grinds
in the next parish; yet he gives
himself the airs OF a COMMANDMENTS
chief at the very least. II you ask him
TO dinner you and all your guests must
sit mum while he relates some inter
minable anecdote, or fires off (if they
will go of, but they often MISS the ter
rible "impromptus" which he has spent
the whole afternoon constructing over
his study table. He has done nothing
in his life worth doing; he knows moth
ing in this world really worth knowing;
he has no science or skill or art, under
heaven, except the art Of stringing
words together, and he can't even do
that at all decently unless no is given
plenty of time. Yet on the strength Of
having written half dozen morb d
and unnatural stories, or some
poems that nobody can read without
going to sleep, or having put to-
gether bundle of ill-natured criticisms
or edited some wrong-headed news
paper or magazine, he spreads his
wretched little jackdaw tail with all the
arrogance of a genuine peacock. 10
hear him talk you would imagine that
if he did not actually make the world,
yet he is quito equal to taking 1t to
pieces and putting it together again. l
remember picture IN an old number of
Punch in which the belle of the evening
is represented as surrounded by crowd
OF these rising young gent
USES" as they arc denominated. In the
corner are two human beings, and one
of them says to the other: Rather
scrubby, grubby lot, the rising young
geniuses, eh?" Well, l must confess
that a good many Of the eminent liter
airy men of my acquaintance seem to
me to answer TO these adjectves scrub
by and "grubby." should not like
to be brought into terms of very familiar
intercourse with them. l should not
care to go long voyage with them or
spend wet day with them in a country
house. -Lond0n Punch.

JEALOUS COMPOSERS.
Cause OF the Ill Feeling Which Existed
between Derlioz and Wagner.

Cause OF the Ill Feeling Which Existed
between Derlioz and Wagner.
Hector Berlioz, whose statue has late
ly been inaugurated in Paris, had vio-
lent hatred of Wagner. 1t arose out Of
simple jealousy. One day Berlioz went
to the reception at the Tu lerie, and had
the honor of chat with tho Emperor,
who inquired about his opera lies
Troycns, adding that he should like
to have look at it. Berlioz transport
ed with joy, resolved to demand an au-
dience Of his imperial Majesty, and
looked forward to the speedy produc-
ton OF his work at the Opera. But days
and weeks passed by, and no news
came. Suddenly one morning he was
startled by the announcement that, in
pursuance of imperial orders. the
''Tannhauser" of Wagner was to be
Immediately brought out Mt the
Opera. Berlioz flew into passion,
and from that moment spent all his
bile on Wagner. He attacked him right
and left on every occasion. Wagner"
he wrote to friend, sis evidently mad;
he is sure to die in an asylum" To an
other person he wrote: 81 will not write
any criticism on 'Tannhauser' shall
protest by my silence" He was then
musical critic OF the Debdts. In another
letter he said; 1.-The public laughed out
right at the bad style and burlesque Or
chestration of Wagner" Whea Tam
hauser" fail he exclaimed: Thank
God, am richly avengedr' At length
lies Troyens" was produced at the
Lyrique and turned ont a fiasso. It was
the deathblow to Berlioz. Wagner in
his turn was richly avenged. Pal

the leading citizens, well-known for business
energy and tact.
On last Saturday the Methodist Protestant
Sunday School picnic was held. 1t was largely
attended and an enjoyable affair throughout.
One of the most enjoyable features of the &C.
casion was the excellent music by the Hano-
yer, Pa, Citizens Cornet Band. The selec-
tons were by SUCH composers as Pettee,
Graffula, Dalb and others, The most difficult
solos were rendered by l.. Bargelt, bassoi Lee
Bargelt, solo alto Gunderman, solo fat
Graybill, baritone; Paff, the leader, and Rout-
son, E cornet. 1t is useless to add that the
large number of people present were delighted
with the music of the band.
To-day, Saturday, the Uniontown Band,
under the leadership of Profs. Paff and Nc:
Kallop, will play at the picnic at Winters
Church.
The political cauldron is boiling in this
district. The talk is for and against o third
term, but the victorious side will be known
shortly.

PERSONAL EXPLANATION in last weeks issue
of the Enterprise, published in Hampstead,
the Editor states that he "renounces all re-
sponsibility' for the communications appear
ing in his columns, He also says, ''this is
the law with all newspapers In Maryland, from
the Baltimore Sun to the least and most OBJ
scure local paper" These statements, Of
course, have given rise to considerable local
controversy as they eInanated from source
that ought to be more enlightened upon the
subject.
With your consent, Messrs Editors, and for
the future enlightenment ofthe Enterprise, and
all whom it may concern, / most respectfully
submit for public criticism, through your
columns, the following decision of the best
legal authority of our County or State. As
soon as | read the strange statement of the
Enterprise | entered into correspondence
with the authority whose letter quote below:
"Beyond any question, the Editor is liable
to a suit for damages for any libelous publica-
ton made il his paper. And this, equally,
whether the authors name is appended to the
publication or not. But for libel without
the name Of the author appended, the dam.
ages would be greater. A criminal indict-
ment would also lie against the publisher Of
a gross libel
If such were not the law, printing press
might be dangerous engine in o community,
and ought not to be enoouraged-espeo ially

pleasure of any irresponsible crank who med
itates mischief against his neighbors. "A

Death of a Former citizen.

Mr.. George w. Waesche, native of Car
roll, died rather suddenly ON Saturday last,
August 9th, at Reedsvile, North Carolina.
He was on his way home from the South to
his family, in Rockbridge county, Virginia.
At Reedsvile he was taken with cholera NOR
bus, and died in about "A hours after. His
relatives at Mechanicstown, Frederick county,
were telegraphed to, and they had the body
prepared for burial and taken to Lexington,
where it was inferred in the Lexington Gem
etery, lovely resting place for the dead, on
Monday evening. Two of his brothers,
Messrs. Joseph A. Waesche, of Westminster,
and Randolph Waesnhe, of Mechanicstown,
attended the funeral. The deceased was born
near Wakefield, this county, and was the
eldest son of the late George H. Waesche.
His mother, Mrs. Catharine Waesohe, is still
living, at an advanced age. and resides at
Mechanicstown. Mr.. Waesche leaves a wife
and three daughters. His age was SO years,
10 months and 2 days. At the outbreak Of
the late war he and his next younger brother,
Wm. H. Waesche, went South and entered
the Confederate army, and at its close re-
manned in Virginia.

The weather has been dry with us for some
time, giving trouble in preparing our Fields
for fall seeding. However, full crop will
not be sown. Our farmers say small grain
will not pay at present prices, and will turn
attention to other products
The people of Berret and vicinity have
made arrangements TO remodel Brandenburg
church. The work has been commenced and
will be pushed forward with dispatch. If the
ADVOCATE knows of any one in Westminster
who has quarter to contribute in this dlrec'
ton, please telephone the glad tidngs to the

The Sunday School festival at the Evangel-
ical Lutheran Church, near Berret, on the
9th ullimo, was success in every respect.
Ice cream and confectionery were dealt out
in abundance to the large concourse of people
present, whose festivities were interluded with
music by the Union Bridge Band, and also
with vocal music by the school and choir,
accompanied with the organ, over which Miss
Minnie Busby presided with graceful excel
lence.
We hear but little upon politics, but have
reason to believe that the indications OF the
political horizon are encouraging, as we have
lust heard one of our candidates for nomina-
ton whistlng Yankee Doodle, which we re-
gard as favorable representation.
1t appears the Republicans of Maryland
have made 'new departure" AS a last
resort they now propose to run their ticket by
steam, or in other words, hundred million
power called the B. & o. Railroad, by which
means they expect to ''beat or burst boiler
in the attempt, but we suppose the people OF
Maryland have seen too much of this corpora
ton to be inveigled into their trap.
